A few weeks ago – we had baked spaghetti supreme from Pizza Delight – this time – we wanted spaghetti too but with the italian meatball instead with extra mushrooms – because the brat didn’t wanna eat cheese.  They didn’t charge us any extras for the extra mushrooms and it was such an good meal – Chloe and I ate and still had some leftovers for the next day.

We paid like $8 for the take out meal – and it was really good – the sauce was rich and most importantly even chloe loved it.  Don’t be deceived by the small looking container because they were packed so full – it was like me eating for $3.50 and Chloe $2.00 portions with another $2.50 leftover for the next day.  As usual the service was quick and we were outta the restaurant within 15mins.

We love the deli staff at the deli counter of Sobeys – why? because they are really, really nice to us.  Not only do they give us our chicken in plastic containers like we requested – they always say ” you have a nice day now!”  irregardless – if they were busy with another customer or doing something else like cleaning or cooking – they always acknowledge us when we are there.

A few weeks ago – we had bought a chicken that was very dry and the brat just wouldn’t eat it – i really donch blame her – because it was dryer than my grandmother’s skin – hahahha!!  bless her soul !  anyhow – we went back the next day and bought another one and had told the one of the ladies there what happened – she offered a free chicken to us!!  actually, i told her not because i wanted a free chicken but to make conversation and really just wanted to know – how did that quarter chicken get so dried up – for usually they are nice and juicy (we eat them immediately).

Anyhow – we are grateful -therefore – because of these lovely ladies and guys there except one – we only shop at Sobeys deli counter – and never at the competitions. It’s nice to be taken care of and to be acknowledge – and yes – because of these lovely people we shop like 95% at Sobeys – they always know how to make us feel special.

I was kinda curious as to how a cheddar cheese bagel would taste – so last month when i didn’t have time for breakfast from waking up late – i decided to order this instead of my regular – cinnamon raisin bagel with light cream cheese.  Verdict – it was pretty rich and it has a rich taste of cheese – that’s for sure – in fact i find that the cheddar cheese bagel was a lot more filling than my regular one.  And the girls at Tim’s told me that if i were to order a BLT with this bagel – it would be the same price at $3.39.

So here you have it – light cream cheese on Cheddar Cheese bagel and for someone who is not into cheese – i have to say i do like it.  So if you are in Canada – do try it – and don’t forget to tip the gals on the counter – you can tip them you know – if you appreciate the coffee they make for you everyday.

When one eats a chicken BLT salad from Wendy’s – is it still consider as fast food?  hehe!   well, i was feeling kinda hungry after a small lunch one day – so i had asked PB to go get me something somewhat healthy – so he went to get me some salad.   But on Wendy’s website it said they had the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad but when PB arrived at the drive- thru’ they said nope – they didn’t do it but Macdonald’s does *roll eyes*.   I won’t be very happy if i was the owner of Wendy’s hahhaha!!!  it’s like us telling people to go to Staples to get computers or computer repairs.

The chicken BLT salad was huge and yummy! i was craving for greens like a cow – hahahha!  i think i ate the vegies first before finishing the chicken.  But the chicken was hot and tender – really yummy and i felt really good eating so much greens.

The cherry tomatoes were heaven !!  a customer who was in that day asked me – where’s your dressing?  did they forget to give you some?  Nah – i don’t take dressings in my salad – how to keep healthy leh – when you dump in like a bowl of dressing into your salad?  10 yrs ago an employee of ours who was on diet had the same salad – and guess what? she had 2 bowls of thousand island dressing – in her salad – i had told her – she might as well have a steak – that wouldn’t be that harmful for the body – as that much dressing.  LOL!  but she insisted that she was trying – so i didn’t say anymore.  Salads are awesome – good for the skin – good for digestion – and good for keeping healthy – but if you eat them with that much salad dressing – then it just defeats the purpose eh.  But I’m no expert – so donch listen to me now – do what pleases your body and your taste buds.

i saw these at the local grocery store in town and the first thing that came to my mind was …?????

yes ! cafe world’s sliders! !!! hehehe!!  addict much ??  PB asked me… hahhhha!! yes! yes! i’ve been playing  Cafe World of late and donch seems to be moving upwards very much.   But if you have been playing cafe world – you will understand how amused i was to have seen the above mini – burgers.

Nah ! i didn’t buy any.  What would i do with them?  unless i have a BBQ party for kids – this would work good – mini burgers – or sliders as they are called.

I have been having a craving for croissant of late and don’t want my regular rye bread nor the walnut and raisin that I have for breakfast.  So when we were out shopping  for a  Panerai with my best friend one day – and saw these incredibly looking delicious croissant – i just had to try/buy them.

Sorry that my mind was more on food than the Panerai – afterall, the croissant is much cheaper – hahhaha! but you see my g/f is crazy about the Panerai and she even have a club for it – I kid you not!   Anyhow, PB sharpen a knife for me just so i can split the croissant nicely and it was awesome – i toasted the croissant and slapped on some chicken salad and tomatoes on it and i had an awesome and filling breakfast.   Some said that eating croissant often isn’t good but it sure tasted good to me.. hahahaha!!  how many of you like croissants?  the other day – they didn’t have the cheese ones no more..   but had the whole wheat type.  So I went over to the bakery and asked them..  “excuse me, do you have the croissants that would make me fat and give me lots of cholesterol ? hhahaha!!”  In which the baker just laughed and replied – “no – sorry – you have to stay healthy for now” hahahahh!!!   I love people with a good sense of humor – don’t you?   Life is too short – be happy!

We don’t usually eat Mcdonalds for breakfast – not because it isn’t tasty but I’ve eaten so much of it when i first came to Canada – kinda “jialat” (tired) – if you know what i mean.  But every now and then I would – want it outta the convenience because most likely i need to cook two meals that morning.  One for the lunch for Chloe and then make soup as well for dinner.

Many moons ago, i would always order the big breakfast – but after coming to Canada – i usually order the sausage Mcmuffin without the eggs and a hasbrown.  But once in a while i like to change taste and order something else unlike PB – he likes eating only hot cakes all the time – so boring hor.

So a few weeks ago, when we didn’t get to do much shopping the last week, i decided i want Mcdonald’s so that we didn’t have to go to Sobeys and get breakfast stuff instead.  I had hotcakes and sausage – no hasbrown this time – coz’ i won’t be able to finish it.  I asked PB what he wanted and he said “nothing” .. and then when we got home – he wanted to share my breakfast..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   can die or not..????  not that i won’t share it – mind you .. but had he told me.. he wanted to share – i would have gotten a hash brown too … MENNNN!!!  so in the end i didn’t eat enough – afterall – i had planned to have 2 pieces of hotcakes and the sausage but instead i only gotten 1 hotcake and a sausage for breakfast.  Really !! mennn!!!  is your man this way too..??  or is it just mine..????  almost like got gold in his mouth!!! MANNNN!!!

Guess where I had lunch a few weeks ago – yes, yes..! i’m back logged .. and you know the reason why.  Busy business and lots of work online.  But anyhow – I took pictures to show you what a lovely meal i had.  This was take out – and it only took 15mins for us to pick up our food – super fast and super efficient – the staff were .  They were ready – even before PB came back from picking up some   best prenatal multivitamin for his buddy’s wife.  Why?  our store near the pharmacy mah!

Remember the last time – we went for a sit down on a Sunday – and they didn’t have Tabasco sauce – therefore i didn’t order Spaghetti ?  yes – i’m horrid in that sense – need the burning sensation.  But yes I ordered a Spaghetti Supreme.  What is a Spaghetti supreme..??  It’s oven-baked spaghetti with meat sauce, mushrooms, Italian meatballs and our signature cheese blend.  Yummy or not..??

I ordered a side salad – a Caesar to go with my meal of course and it’s sinful – but absolutely hit the spot.   The side salad was only $2.99 and they did come with a piece of garlic bread – but i prefer the ones from Jessy’s – rich !   The meal cost less than 15 bucks and chloe and I had the ghettis and there were leftovers for another meal – so definitely value for money – huge portion of food and really quick too.

Yums!!

I haven’t eaten KFC’s chicken bowl for a long time now – but once in a while – I would indulge and eat them – it’s a lot of food for the price we are paying – I think $3 something if i am not wrong.  I don’t know if you have this in Asia – but the chicken bowl comes with mashed potatoes at the bottom – kernel corn – lots of cheese and a bowl of gravy on the side – just the way i liked it.

I’ve always liked the KFC here – unlike the ones back home – they are very generous here – and gives you all sorts of condiments that you need.  And i’ve always had good service at the KFC here –  and we do have buckets of chicken with PB’s family during special occasions and the next one coming up will be Father’s Day – so you can expect us have some greasy chicken soon. When did you last have KFC?

We don’t have a Dunkin Donuts, we don’t have a Krispy Kreme nor do we have a famous donuts from LA or J. Co Donuts from Kuala Lumpur or Big Apple Donuts or The Famous Berry Donut Van in Sydney or a Paris Baguette in Korea or Donut Cafe in Shinbuya BUTTTTTT!!!  we do have a Tim Hortons!!!!! woohoo!!!

And they are mighty cheap if you buy them by the dozen – plenty to choose from – i usually let them pick whatever they want to give me – because i never eat them – not that they are not good – but because i’m diabetic – but they are sure good gifts for the doctor’s office – or the outlaws – or when you go visiting a friend for coffee in the afternoon.  A dozen of donuts are like $6.00 – so cheap, cheap right but remember if you buy one at a time they are like $.84 cents or there about.   Tim Hortons are very popular with the Canadians but not so much for the States – how I know?? I’ve been to the States many times.. and if you compare the choices they  have in the states.. you would know why.
